Their Lordships were for a considerable time pre 7 vious tb the admission . of strangers, in a close Corn; rnittee of Privileges, engaged in the discussion, as we understood, of "the case of the Banbury Peerage. Of the proceedings we are•of course precluded from giv. ! ing a particular acceunt. • Soon atter the .resuming of the House, the Irish East India Trade; and the Irish Warehousing. Bills, were read a 'second Cute, - mad committed tbr to- • morrow. • Lord REngsriArA, after a very•few prefatory words, presented a Bill for securing the Proceeds ,on Sales of Bankrupts' Estates, and tor the further athend ment of the Baakrapt Laws ; 'which wai ferthwith read a first time, and, on his Lordship's motion, or= dered to be printed. • , • Earl BATJIURST moved, that the Order for. the third readiug of the Cotton Wool Export - Bill, and the other accompanying Bills,•which stood for this day, be discharged;andsimilar Orders renewed for Friday. Lord AUCKLAND toot: the opportunity, pur, suant to his notice of yesterday, to observe, that with respect to the measures adverted to by the Noble Earl, the Ad of Union with Ireland ',vas in , fringed, inasnmett as by the 6th Ankh! of that Ad, which related to the Trade and Commerce of the Country, it was provided, that his Majesty's Sub jects in that part of the United Kinguent 'should stand precisely on the same footing with resped to Trade as those of treat Britain. • here then was the use of separate Bills respeaing those different measures, as the Cotton Wool Bill, the Bark Pro lribition, &c. Even the Oroera in. Council Bill, as ,orie of Commercial Regulation, might be made to extend to the United Kingdom generally. It was not only useless, but an injurious multiplication of Statutes, tending to swell the bulk of the Statute Book, including additional trouble and contusion. Several Of these Atts-were fur the most part mere transcripts of each other. In short, there were then before Parliament seven or eight Bills such as . he alluded to ; when, on the principle Which he cori. tended should operate, two Ads would have been sufficient. Earl BATHURST shortly replied, that etith respect to the Orders in Council Bill; it being 'a Money Bill, it could not have been extended to ' Ireland; as to the other measures advertpd to by . the Noble Baron, one systeM was intended fer the wflole of the United Kingdom, therefore the Bills were generally alike in their proviSions.— When the business had been originally taken up, the mode of separate Bills was adopted, and it was since thought rather preferable to continue' the same' course ; the Bills, though separate, went not to place the trade of the two Countries on a different footing. The Orders' were then discharged, and renewed for Friday, porsuatt to the No* Earl's Motion.. The J e ORD CHANCELLOR moved, that the Order of the Day for the second reading-of the Bill touching the. Administration of Justice in. Scotl an d, be discharged ; which being done, his Lordship moved that the Bill , be read a second time on Thurs day, and the Lords' summoned , for that day.—Or dered. Lord GRENVILLE briefly iadvarted to the Ov;.. der made by their Lordships in the last Parliament for the attendance of, the Scots Judges at the Bar, which proceeding was interrupted' by the sudden • Prorogation and subsequent Dissulution of Mid , meat ; , and observed (as we could hear his Lord ship), that in order 'to save those Learned Judges the -trouble of a similar attendance in. the present instance, he would submit that the questions pro- . posed, by the House, relative to the Administration of Justice, in Scotland, should be transmitted to them for the perpwe'd obtaining their answers and opi-. rildllB thereon. The Noble Lord then moved to this effect; which meeting the sense of the House, was ordered accordingly. The Bills on the table were forwarded in their several stages.—A'cljourned. HOUSE OP COMMONS.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APITE. G, 1808. Wg regret very much that we are still unable to communicate to our Readers any authentic intelli gence from the Mediterranean ; but we still retain the opinion which we q:pressed some days ago, of the probability of an aeiion having taken place— Our Letter from Plymouth this morning states, that a report was current at Lisbon, of a battle having been fought, but that it was afterwards contradiaed. If the wind should continue as it is at present, the anitiety of the Public, on this most interesting sub je&, must very shortly be relieved by the arrival of 'official accounts.

Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, their MAJESTIES, the PRINCESSES AUOUSTA; MARY and SOPHIA, ar rived at the Queen's Palade, from Windsor. About two o'clock the Duchess of g ß UNwtcit. and Princess of WALES; attended by Lady GLENRERVIE, arrived at the Palace from illackheath, and partook of an early dinner with titer MAJESTIES, the PRINCESSES, the Dukes of Kpvp, ,CUMISRELAND, CANIBRIpGE, and SussEx.

The Ship Anna Illargaretia, is arrived at Plymouth from Savannah, in Georgia, bdt . the letters and papers she has •brought are not of so - late a date as those we had previously received.•• The people Of Georgia continued to exped the speedy removal of the Embargo, and had in consequence completed the lading of several Vessels, on the cargoes of which, consisting of cotton and rice, insurances are direded to, be made in England. Every article of the growth of the United States had fallen consi derably in price, in consequence of the Embargo.— Sea Island Cotton, which was at 35 Cents. per lb. had fallen to es ;. and Rice, whieb•was at three dol lars, 75 Cents. bad fallen to Wen shillings sterling per barrel. When BUONAPARTE complained, through the .medium of his devoted press, The illuniteur, of the arrest of the Russian Ambast,ador at Stockholm, upon more than mere suspicion of carrying on .trey-' sonable measures in that capital against the Go vernment, he forgot his 'outer for arresting Sir GEORGERUMBOLD, at Hamburgh, a neutral territory, where the latter was only employed in the charader of a British Minister supporting the interests of his own. Country. The Russian Minister at Stockholm on the other hand, was engaged in' such transactions as incurred aforfeiture of the protedion which was due to him in that capacity, and, if the King of SWEDEN had resorted to justifiable feeling of resent ment, be would have been treated as a spy and a Conspirator. • Tits WHIG Cum.—This society met, for the third time in the seasen, yesterday, at the Free .Ma sons' Tavern. The Duke of BEDFORD took the Chair. Lord Hot.Lioto, when the cloth was re- Moved gave as his Toast the names of " Rosen and Cavendish," particularly as the head of one of those families was in the Chair.' The Duke of BEDFORD expressed his thanks, and having pronounced an eulogiuru on Mr. Fox, declared that he should always abide by the principles of that great man. The Duke then gave " An union of interests and affeaion be tween Great Britain and Ireland," which was drank with three times three, and afterwards," Mr. Whit bread, and a speedy and honourable peace." This toast naturally induced Mr. WHITBREAD to rise and thank the company for having joined his name to a sentiment that he had much at heart. After having confidently said that " the last and present war might have been honourably and safely avoided," he had the stilt greater hardihood to declare that." he thought a peace might now be honourably conclud -o.land safely maintained." After such . a declaration as this, it is surely incumbent upon Mr. WHIT BR EiD to state upon what grounds he has been in ducectioform seeb an opinion, or all mankind must admit,theit he is wholly unobservant of the condUta of our Enemy,, or unable to form a proper estimate of his charaaer.
